It's not anything new.
KGB did poison attacks in London (Georgi Markov). CIA tried to kill Castro. KGB sponsored PLO. CIA sponsored Afghani rebels. CIA toppled Salvador Aliende.
How exactly is Trump story or Skripal poisining new? Why do they suddenly shy away from country vs country action (i.e. sanctions) into indicting low-level operatives?
- auntienomen 9y agoSkripal was freed in a prisoner exchange. Cold war rules were that such people were off limits, so that prisoner exchange werent pointless.
- lokopodium 9y agoFair enough. I'm not trying to point at who started it, just why are 60 year old rules suddenly forgotten.
